All players should be comfortable with their role as the ‘A’ (attacker) in the ABCD system. 3. Players will be outstanding individual tacklers. SELECTION POLICIES 4.

Winning cups, conferences and big school matches is fantastic. However, at Stewart’s Melville College, we believe that it is the sometimes unseen development that is of the greatest importance. Rugby is a sport that presents a great deal of different challenges and the amount of hard work and dedication required to be successful at any level should not be taken for granted. It plays a huge part in the development of the person, establishing a character that will make our pupils a success in many different areas of their life. Pupils need to work together in a team, learn and understand each other’s strengths, while working collectively to cover for areas of weakness. Dealing with the challenges posed by the opposition and problem solving go a long way to promoting improved confidence and self-esteem. Learning to listen to others, whether it be your coach or other players, means you are open to new ideas and improves your attitude to learning. Having responsibility as a captain, or as a part of a team unit, provides opportunity to lead others and take on added responsibility. Learning to win and lose in the correct manner whilst managing emotions under pressure gives pupils the chance to develop coping mechanisms that can transfer directly to everyday life. Understanding that we often learn more about ourselves when we lose and allowing for periods of self-reflection can turn perceived short term failure into longer term gain. We strongly believe that our teams provide a great environment where pupils can practice and ingrain our school values. At Stewart’s Melville we believe rugby is a sport that helps create the people we want our pupils to become. Jimmy Moran, 1st XV U18 Coach The rugby programme will once again be boosted by additional coaches throughout the season which will act as both player development and coach education initiatives. Feedback from previous seasons has been extremely positive and we will continue to encourage links with the Scottish Rugby Union, Edinburgh Knights and Glasgow Warriors to develop our programme. We are extremely fortunate to have input from a variety of specialist coaches and professional players from both Edinburgh Knights and Glasgow Warriors such as Sean Kennedy, Grant Gilchrist, Adam Ashe and Grayson Hart to name a few. We have Neil Graham (Head of Coach Development for SRU) coaching our U16 forwards, Scott Riddell (Scotland 7s) working with our players on specialist breakdown work, Chris Paterson MBE working on back play and specialist kicking skills with our players as well as specialist input from coaches such as Eddie Pollock, Ben Fisher and Sean Lineen.

    RaboDirect PRO12 : PREVIEW 2012/13 Round 18: 22ND & 23RD March 2013 ROUND 18 PREVIEWS With just five rounds left to decide which teams will contest the Play-Offs, there is a new leader of the RaboDirect PRO12 with Glasgow Warriors taking over the mantle from Ulster, whilst for the fourth round in succession, Ospreys swapped places with Scarlets in the Play-Off Zone. Three of those teams are in action on Friday night; Ulster traveling to Edinburgh, Ospreys hosting Welsh rivals Newport Gwent Dragons, and Scarlets in Italy to face Zebre. Edinburgh can do their Scottish neighbours, Warriors, a favour if they can defeat Ulster however their record against the Ulstermen is not great. Meanwhile Ospreys and Scarlets must both be looking to come away with maximum points from opponents who are sitting at the wrong end of the table in their bids to reach the Play-Offs. The leaders, Glasgow Warriors, are not in action until Saturday, and are the only one of the potential Play-Off teams to face another side from the top half of the table when the visit Leinster at the RDS. Munster will also be looking for maximum points in the All-Irish clash against Connacht if they are to make a final push for the knockout stages. With just two points separating the top three teams in the table, whilst it is even closer for the final Play Off spot, there is definitely all to play for still as the RaboDirect PRO12 enters its closing stages.

  • RD PRO12 Peview Round 9
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2012/13 Round Nine: 23rd – 25th November 2012 ROUND NINE PREVIEWS With the completion of their postponed Round 4 game against Zebre, Ulster have now pulled out a six points lead at the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table. They are in action in Italy again on Friday night when they face Benetton Treviso at Stadio Monigo, and will be looking to extend their unbeaten record in the country as well as maintaining their 100per cent start to this season’s RaboDirect PRO12. Current RaboDirect PRO12 champions, Ospreys, are also in action on Friday night travelling to Murrayfield to play Edinburgh Rugby. Ospreys sit just outside the top four due to poorer points difference than Munster, should results go their way this weekend it could be the first time they have entered the Play-Off zone this season. The match of the day must be the encounter at Scotstoun where third placed Glasgow Warriors must overcome the reigning European champions, Leinster if they are to set a new Warriors record in this tournament of seven successive wins. The final game on Friday night is in Wales when Newport Gwent Dragons host Connacht. Both teams have had a mixed start to their seasons, and a win would be a welcome boost to their campaigns. The round concludes with two games on Sunday, Munster v Scarlets and Zebre v Cardiff Blues. After having narrowly missed out to Ulster last weekend, Zebre are still looking for their first win in the completion, and will be hoping Blues poor form continues for one more week.
